Installing a New Residential HVAC System
Make Your HVAC Purchase with Confidence
The Benefits of a New Home Comfort System
- On average, new HVAC systems provide up to 7% greater energy efficiency than models from the year prior*
- Repairs are typically less frequent with newer systems
- New residential HVAC systems can often integrate the latest indoor air quality (IAQ) technologies
Step 1: Choose Your Residential HVAC Installer
You can often save time and money if you find a contractor you trust before you start looking for a new home comfort system. A good residential HVAC installer will have the knowledge and technology needed to calculate the type and size of home comfort system that fits your home. For example, if your system is too big, it will turn on and off too frequently and waste energy. If your system isn't big enough, it will have to work harder than it should. A system that perfectly fits your home provides even temperatures and saves energy.
Find a Dealer
Step 2: Choose Your Home Comfort System
Think about details like noise levels, features, and warranties. Ask your HVAC contractor about residential HVAC systems with noise levels under 60 decibels (dB), if that's a priority. Your contractor can also explain different system features and how much a system can expand if you build an addition or even the best HVAC system for new construction. And don't forget to ask about an HVAC warranty. The warranties available on an HVAC purchase can protect it and your satisfaction down the road.

More HVAC Purchase Considerations
In addition to finding your contractor and HVAC unit, don't forget about securing reliable HVAC installation and looking at HVAC financing options. However, there are more things to consider to make your HVAC investment more solid.
HVAC Add-Ons
Once you've found a unit that fits your home and its needs, it's time to create your perfect home comfort system. HVAC add-ons like indoor air quality products can enhance the comfort of your home and even help your residential HVAC system run more efficiently. Some indoor air quality products can remove dust, allergens, bacteria and even viruses from your home's airflow. Lastly, don't forget to ask your residential HVAC installer about the ductwork in your home. They can make sure it's ready for your new system. Depending on its condition, it could require cleaning, repair or, in some cases, replacement.
Ongoing HVAC Maintenance
Regular residential HVAC system maintenance is required to ensure your new home comfort system will run efficiently for years to come. Setting a regular maintenance schedule right away can help identify any small problems that might lead to bigger issues down the road. And time spent with your dealer gives you the chance to ask questions about your new system's performance, while allowing them to make updates that improve comfort and efficiency. Remote monitoring solutions like Hx™3 can help your dealer monitor your system between visits, too.
